This paper examines the labor market implications of investment in automation over the life cycle of ICT and robot technologies from 1995 to 2017 in 163 European regions. We first identify major technological breakthroughs during this period for these automation technologies and identify the...

The continued digitalisation of banking systems has raised a demand for more reliable data-based decision-making, in particular when referring to financial forecasts as covered by e-banking applications. This research also investigates the usage of AI-based decision-making systems to facilitate...

The over-hyped Dot.com revolution bubbled and crashed at the end of the 1990s, leaving a largely unused physical and virtual infrastructure that eventually supported the rise of social media that did-indeed-transform life. Not necessarily in a good way. As Robert Gordon famously claimed, you can...

The yen depreciation from 2012-2015 reduced robot prices for U.S. firms. Paradoxically, financially constrained firms dramatically increased adoption relative to their unconstrained peers. We rationalize this with a collateral model: robots are pledgeable assets requiring non-pledgeable...

Background: Achieving deep decarbonization in global supply chains is essential for advancing net-zero objectives; however, the integrative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in this transition remains insufficiently explored. This study examines how these technologies support...

This study examines how automation, measured by industrial robot adoption and artificial intelligence (AI) exposure, is associated with labor market and production outcomes across Europe. Using a panel dataset covering 32 European countries and 18 industries from 1994 to 2019, we analyze the...

Background: This study examines the influence of AI-driven supply chains on the adoption of automation and robotics within Jordanian manufacturing firms, emphasizing the role of supply chain adaptability and agility as mediators and market turbulence as a moderator. Methods: Drawing on dynamic...

Objective: The aim of the article is to present the AI solutions used by accounting departments and the challenges they bring to the accounting field. Research Design & Methods: The article was developed based on the literature, reports of companies which are currently implementing AI solutions...

The rapid diffusion of industrial robots since the early 1990s has profoundly reshaped labor markets. While automation has generated new job opportunities, it has also displaced a large number of workers and contributed to the long-run decrease in male labor force participation in the United...

The employment and labor market landscape has undergone significant transformations globally, including the three Central European countries examined in this study. Over the past decades, organizations in this region have transitioned from a state of full employment to labor shortages, raising...

In recent years, Collaborative Robots (Cobots) have gained traction. It is categorized as a special type of robot that is capable of working safely alongside humans. Cobots are used in a variety of industrial applications, including assembling, manufacturing, quality inspection, and packaging...

This paper examines how automation shapes intergenerational income mobility. Using Swedish register data on parents and children from 1985 to 2019, we study how parental exposure to robots at the occupational and industry level during the 1990s affected children's outcomes up to thirty years...

We study the role of industrial robots in shaping the divergence between labor productivity and wages across European countries from 1995 to 2020. To this end, we develop a tractable theoretical model in which robots substitute for routine labor. The model predicts a widening wage-productivity...

We use data from the Annual Survey of Manufactures to study the characteristics and geography of investments in robots across U.S. manufacturing establishments. We find that robotics adoption and robot intensity (the number of robots per employee) is much more strongly related to establishment...

This paper investigates the impact of South Korea's rapid robotization, driven by the country's proactive robotization policies, on subjective well-being using individual and householdlevel panel data. We measure individual exposure to robotization by estimating the probability that individuals...

Dewi Brunet's project, "FluxFoliage - pollination in a robotic era" merges art, science, and technology to raise awareness about pollinator decline, specifically within the context of the EU's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Pollinators Initiative. Created during the European Commission's...

This study proposes a robotic process automation (RPA) model to streamline and optimize order-handling procedures in supply chain management. The current manual approach to order handling poses challenges, including limited accessibility and significant cognitive demands on employees. An...

This paper examines the impact of robotisation on workplace safety in EU manufacturing sectors between 2011 and 2019. To address endogeneity concerns, we employ an instrumental variable approach and find that robot adoption reduces both injuries and fatalities. Specifically, a 10% increase in...

Background: With urban logistics facing challenges such as high delivery volumes and driver shortages, autonomous driving emerges as a promising solution. However, the integration of autonomous vans and robots into existing fulfillment processes and platforms remains largely unexplored. Method:...

We examine the implications of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) for employment and productivity, using a rich firm-level database from the Survey of Business Activities provided by Statistics Korea. While previous studies have explored the effects of robots and AI separately, we...

Research background: The emergence of financial technology, namely robo-advice (RA), has transformed wealth management by increasing accessibility to customized financial guidance, extending beyond the realm of affluent individuals. Robo-advisors, changing the financial advice sector, use...
